Upgrading from CC to CC 2014 without losing Actions & Filters

I'd like to upgrade from CC 14.2.1 (64 bit) to CC 2014, but I can't afford to lose my Actions & Filters since I spent 18 months creating and installing. I don't mind moving them, but I need to know where they are and where to move them to. Or anything else that helps me upgrade without losing them all.

I strongly recommend you save your actions in .atn files and keep the files in a safe place.  Do this by clicking on the actions set name, then clicking the icon at the upper-right of the Actions panel and choosing Save Actions.  This protects you from the loss of information from Photoshop preferences (which should not happen, but it's always good to be safe).
If the installation process somehow does not automatically copy your actions to the new version when it is installed, you can always load them from the .atn files yourself.
Regarding what you're calling Filters, I'm assuming you're referring to 3rd party plug-ins.  Since Photoshop CC 2014 is a completely separate and new application, you'll simply have to reinstall them into the new version.  I recommend not trying to copy them from one version to the other, though that can be done in a pinch - you just have to be sure you get all the related files together (some of which may not be under the Plug-ins subfolder).
Keep in mind that if you don't uninstall Photoshop CC 14.2.1 (and I recommend you don't), you can continue to use it in a pinch, until you get Photoshop CC 2014 fully set up and are confident in it.  As I mentioned, Photoshop CC 2014 is a completely separate install.

  • How do I downgrade from Lion to Snow Leopard without losing iWork 09?  I upgraded my MBP from 10.5 (originally 10.4) to 10.6, then again to 10.7.  Should I go back to 10.4, 10.5 or just to 10.6?

    How do I downgrade from Lion to Snow Leopard without losing iWork 09?  I upgraded my MBP from 10.5 (originally 10.4) to 10.6, then again to 10.7.  Should I go back to 10.4, 10.5 or just to 10.6? I don't remember which system included iWork 09 and don't want to lose it. Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the information!  My sister gave me the MBP for my daughter with Leopard installed.  I purchased Snow Leopard and installed it, then my daughter purchased Lion.  So I do have all the installers.  If iWork wasn't included with any of those, I guess my sister purchased it while running Leopard.  I'll have to contact her.  Thanks again.

  • I have a Mac G4 with a 10.3.9 OS and I want to update without losing any filters from my Photoshop 7. Should I go to 10,4 or higher?

    I have a Mac G4 with a 10.3.9 OS and I want to update without losing any filters from my Photoshop 7. Should I go to 10.4 or higher?

    Why do you need to update at all?
    In order to upgrade you will have to purchase a retail copy of either Tiger or Leopard neither of which are easy to come by, and they tend to be a bit expensive.  And, there's no assurance that the version of PS you now use will be compatible with a newer version of OS X.

  • Installing Maverick on my Mac lost almost all of the calendar entries. They are still on my iPhone and new entries move freely to both devices via iCloud. How do I get the entries from my iPhone to iCloud without losing them from iPhone?

    Like many others after I installed Maverick I found that all the calendar history has been lost and most of the forward info has also been lost. Also in order to get calendar, contacts and notes to sync with the iPhone I have had to move to iCloud. Contacts and notes sync fine. new calendar entries sync ok. My iPhone has all the calendar entries that were on the Mac before I installed Maverick. So far iCloud has not overwritten them nor have they synced onto iCloud.
    How can I get all the entries from my iPhone onto iCloud, without losing the only copy of my calendar from my iPhone?
    Thanks Apple for deciding to take over my privacy. I do not want this data stored on a US based server. Fortunately Mail still syncs via my own email provider. I guess Apple will find a way to stop that soon too!

    Greetings Nefertiti72,
    It seems you are experiencing an issue with contact syncing and management. It seems you've removed an email account which contained a number of contacts that are not associated with your iCloud account. I have linked to a knowledge base article which provides more information about iCloud contacts syncing:
    Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
    Learn what to do if you’re having issues using iCloud Contacts. For example, you might make changes to Contacts that don't update across all of your devices.
    You may want to consider importing the contacts from the email account you removed. You can do it easily by following the steps in this article:
    iCloud: Import a vCard
    You can import an electronic business card, also called a vCard, into iCloud Contacts. If the vCard contains contact information for more than one person, each contact becomes a separate entry.
    In iCloud Contacts, choose Import vCard from the Action pop-up menu , which appears at the bottom of the All Contacts list or a list of group contacts
    Select a vCard to import.
    The contacts from the vCard are added to the All Contacts group in Contacts. You can add the contacts to any other group by dragging them to the desired group.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process?

    How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process? The source Macbook (OS 10.4.11 and iPhoto 6.0.6 (3.2.2.)) is with my husband in Germany, the target MacBook Pro (OS 10.8.5, iPhoto 11) is with me in Japan. Thanks for your help.

    I copied the iPhoto Library to a CD and from there to the new MacBook
    If you copied the library to the CD via the Finder it would be no different than the methods Terence suggested.  If you used the Share ➙ Burn menu option from inside iDVD you'll get a mini library that has to be accessed from the open library and the events/alubums copied into the destination library.  Not the same as the other methods.
    The Share ➙ Burn method is no longer supported with iPhoto 9 and later.

  • Can i update from Leopard to Snow Leopard without losing picture galleries or music

    Yes, when you update you should lose any data, but make sure you have a Time Machine backup just in case. 

  • Move a site from one Mac to another without losing sites already there

    I would like to move a site from one Mac to another without losing the websites that I have already built on the other Mac. Transfering the Domain file is not helping. Is there away to open the new domain file and adding those sites to the domain file associated with this copy of iWeb? I have searched the discussions but am not seeing any clear answers. They all seam to invilve new users or losing the sites already on that mac.

    I seem to have solved my own problem. This may help other users. I found a tip and a web page that suggested moving the Domain File from the application support folder to another on the desktop on one of the computers and then putting the 2nd Domain File from the other computer in a separate folder on the desktop. This is because you can not change the name of the Domain File . Then by double clicking the Domain File with the site wanted, iWeb opens with that set of sites.
    I started with what was to be the new master Domain File and stated a new site with a blank page. saved, did not publish and closed iWeb. Opened from the other Domain File and then clicked and opened the site and page I wanted, then selected all, copied all and closed iweb. Went back to the master Domain File , opened iWeb using that, went to the blank page and pasted in the page from the other Domain File from the other computer. Saved, closed iWeb and repeated till I had all pages. Changed the names to match the sites and Pages. I did not allow iWeb to publish during this process. Took all of 10 minutes and I now have a Domain File with all the sites in one place. I then copied this file back into its original location in Library/application support/iWeb on both computers. I now have all sites in iWeb on both computers.

  • Install CC 2014 without losing CC

    I know I should know the answer to this, but I'm overworked and can't focus.
    I have CC apps on my main machine. I want to install CC 2014 without losing my CC installation.
    I'm reluctant to click the "Update" button in the Adobe Update Manager because I don't know what's going to replace what.
    Where do I go to control the download?

    Quit the CC Desktop app first and then restart it so it updates. It should then show you the CC2014 apps (though for me is said Update on them rather than Install).

  • I want to transfer new content from iTunes to my iphone without losing what is already on my phone. Help!

    I want to transfer new content from iTunes to my iPhone without losing what is already on the phone. On the old iTunes I could drag and drop only the items I wanted on the phone.  On this new version, all I can figure out to do is sync, which is going to remove the songs that are already on the phone. There has to be another way.

    The film would have to be in itunes on your computer.
    You would sync it like you do everything else.

  • How can I switch from Automatic to Manual update without losing songs?

    I have on my ipod songs from another computer, however I'm afraid to plug it into my computer because my computer is set to automatic update for my ipod. Is there a way for me to switch my ipod to manual update without losing songs on my ipod when plugging it in? thanks.

    Here is what you do:
    Open iTunes.
    Plug in your ipod.
    hold control and shift at the same time. this stops your ipod from updating automatically. Hold this until your ipod is finished docking.
    Then go to edit>preferences>ipod
    then change the setting from update automatically to update manually.

  • How can I transfer my iTunes Media Library from one PC to another without losing files and making a mess of the file and album structure?

    I have imported a number of Café del Mar CD's to iTunes, and iTunes keeps scattering the tunes into several different folders in iTunes Media. It also has trouble finding album information, unless it has been downloaded from iTunes Store. Previous versions of iTunes I have tried didn't have this problem.
    I've tried to tidy the files manually in iTunes Media, but that usually results in duplicates, so I stopped messing with it. I actually wouldn't mind iTunes blowing up my albums into a nightmare file structure of hyper categorization in iTunes Media (Album, Album Artist, Artist, etc.) if only it recognised its own mess when I transfer the library from one iTunes library into another.
    An example: I downloaded Cafe del Mar - Essential Elements featuring 13 tunes, two of these can be found in the files Cafe del Mar/Cafe del Mar Essential Elements, iTunes also created the folder Cafe del Mar/Cafe del_Mar Essential Elements containing 0 tunes!?! and the rest of the tunes are found under Rue de Soleil in the root folder, indicating ONE of the artists as the criteria for creating a folder of tunes!?!
    I am trying with every fiber NOT to hate this program, and would appreciate it if someone could explain to me how I can move an iTunes Media library of aprox 54 gb from my desktop via an external harddisk onto my laptop. I have tried 4 times, and everytime the result varies. Sometime I transfer 3000 files, other times 4000. Which files follow and don't is random. I lose files tranferring to the external harddisk and lose even more files from the external disk to the new library on my Lap. Do I have to transfer song for song or can this genius program actually transfer a larger amount of files without losing half the files and duplicating the rest?
    Is there a limit of size or amount of files?

    Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.
    As to your issues with compilations albums select all the tracks, set the Album Artist to Various Artists and on the options tab set Part of a compilation to Yes. See Grouping tracks into albums for details.

  • How do i transfer content from my ipod to itunes without losing it?

    My laptop crashed and as a result i've reinstalled vista, and subsequently itunes. I have re installed all my music onto the reinstalled itunes. However all the tv shows, movies, photos etc that are currently on my ipod are not backed up. Therefore i'm assuming the next time i plug in my ipod, the music will update but my tv, movie and photo content will be wiped from my ipod? Is there any way i can transfer that content from my ipod to my laptop/itunes without losing it?
